The antecedents of philosophy of interfaith dialog are the imaginary dialogs between representatives of different religions, a popular theme in European philosophy (see Saint Justin, Abelard, Nicholas of Cusa, Bodin, Lessing...). AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES Students will learn to set a philosophical discourse as a possible meeting point for an interfaith dialog that overcomes apologetic and polemic positions; starting from common questions, which are fundamental to human existence, several answers - from several traditions - will be compared. Seminars will enable students to analyze a few classics of this field, and to compare them to contemporary positions and debates. AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES Students will develop their critical thinking and their philosophical consciousness regarding the theme of contemporary religious pluralism. TEACHING METHODS Lectures.

Contents for students who are taking the 9-CFU course Part I: Religions at the time of the liquid society Part II: History of an interreligious novel: the relevance of the parable of the three rings The first part intends to outline a picture of contemporary religiosity in its metamorphoses and its continuity with the religious structure of man. This structure, whereas on one hand is always the same, on the other hand it is nourished and modified according to historical circumstances. The second part, through the reconstruction of the story of the novel of the three rings, made famous by Boccaccio and then by Lessing, intends to highlight its relevance as an authentic project of interreligious dialogue.
